Byron Bay is renowned for its beautiful golden beaches, surf culture (no less than 7 surf schools) and laid-back lifestyle that’s just a little bit hippy. Luxury resorts and fine restaurants sit alongside yoga schools and market stalls offering treats like locally-grown organic coffee. Just an hour or so south of Gold Coast Airport, this colourful, eclectic spot is easily accessible from pretty much anywhere in New Zealand. It’s a good idea to hire a car because as well as that spectacular coastline, you’ll want to head into the hinterland where you will find more stunning natural scenery including National Parks like Mt Warning and Mooball – home to such exotic-sounding species as the long-nosed potoroo and marbled frogmouth. As Australia’s most easterly region, Byron is the closest point to New Zealand – just one more reason why we should claim it for ourselves.

For a great night out with the locals head to The Rails, right in the heart of Byron Bay and world famous for its fantastic live music every night of the year! You haven’t experienced Byron until you’ve experienced The Rails.
Give your house a gift and yourself a lift with something made or bought at Byron Bay Markets.

Have your aura read at The Crystal Castle and wander through the magical gardens or mystic statues, marvel at the exquisite jewellery, crystals, books and treasures on offer. Indulge in the local produce and coffee as you relax and take in the hinterland views. Why not take an early morning walk to The Cape Byron Lighthouse and watch the sun rise, the views are amazing and on a good day you can see the entire coast of Byron Bay. The cape is a popular spot with adrenaline seekers and you will see a lot of kites on the water and in the air. Grab a book, sit back, relax in the sand at The Beach and people watch. The beach at Byron Bay is an arc as far as the eye can see, gleaming with its golden sand and lapped by a deep blue sea. Why not become a local for a day and try out your skills on a Surf board with one of the surfing schools.
